Which sentence uses the word expedite correctly, according to the dictionary definition?

A) To expedite the process, the manager told her staff to slow down and work more carefully.

B) He wished it were an expedite process, but the staff was overloaded.

C) He wished he could expedite the process, but the paperwork was stalled.

D) He wished he could get an expedite for the process, but the paperwork was stalled.


My answers are between B, C, or D. But I don't know which one is the right answer.

Answer 1

C) He wished he could expedite the process, but the paperwork was stalled.

In this sentence, expedite is being used as a verb. In B, expedite is used as an adjective and in D, it is used as a noun

Answer 2

C) He wished he could expedite the process, but the paperwork was stalled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option C is the correct answer because it uses "expedite" as a verb, it can be replaced by the verbs "accelerate" or "speed up" and it is in contrast with the adjective "stalled" which means the opposite of speeding up: to stop, to come to a standstill.

Option A is incorrect because the sentence does not express the definition of "expedite", option B is wrong because it uses "expedite" as an adjective and not as a verb, and option D is also incorrect because "expedite" is used as a noun.
